The Madmen was formed by Farley Fleeter, and has often served as "henchmen for hire", for other main villains. Once Fleeter had an accident, and got the power to mentally control anyone he touches, the Madmen's ranking raised remarkably and has as often sank in rank too.

 * Acrobacy: One of the main assets of the Madmen was their members finely tuned acrobatic skill. Members of the Madmen were infamous for their near superhuman agility.
 * Martial Arts Proficiency: Being a criminal gang, the need for combat, and defense skills is obvious. Going hand-in-hand with their acrobatic proficiency was a agile method of combat, enhanced by the fact that no Madman was alone for any substantial amount of time, as a close-knit gang. Therefore, their trust in one another as well as usually working in substantial numbers enforced a method of group attacks.
